Egg Whites?

Ok, nearly EVERY meal plan or diet log I see, it says 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs...How do you do that? Like do you just buy a huge amount of eggs, and if so, what do you do with those 4 yolks you separate? Or if you go with the method of egg whites, where do you get them at, walmart? How bout boiling them all and them and just eating the whites? This may be pretty noobish, but I was wondering what the best way is...

You can also buy just the containers of the egg whites (Paper Milk container). The brand the wife and I use is "All Whites" and you can find it in the egg section of your local store. If I'm making some eggs I just crack 1 whole egg into the bowl and then add about the amount for 4-5 whites (All Whites) then mix and scamble. That way your not constantly throwing out the yolks.

I go to Target.......1.48 a dozen. stock up and like you said, usually boil them. Easiest way I can consume while at work......eat the whites and just dump the yolk in the garbage.

I microwave 3 to 4 egg whites a morning. I can't handle daily microwaved yolks, but the whites are virtually tasteless. A couple pieces of low sodium bacon and some ketchup, you got yourself a quick meal.

I just buy a ton of eggs, crack the egg, toss the yoke back and forth between the two egg shell halves and that usually allows the whites to fall into the pan, and finally i throw out the yoke. I have never tried the all whites stuff that comes in the carton.

or to seperate you can dump the egg into your hand, wash your hands first, and then pinch the white into the bowl. If you feel bad about throwing the yolk out and you have dogs, put it in their bowl. They will eat it. At least mine do.

contrary to the prior belief of the masses, it actually doesnt matter whether you buy the all whites or regular egg beaters. the truth of the matter is that regular egg beaters are all whites which have a miniscule amount of yolk added to them simply for the coloration.
just a little something i picked up from a distributor

If you are going to be tossing a lot of the yolks it may be wiser to just buy the Egg beaters. First your not really spending much more for the convenience and secondly your not wasting a lot of food.
If your only doing an egg white omelet once in a while just put the yolks in a freezer bag and save them for future recipes. They work really good to make tuna burgers, egg washes, adding to oatmeal, and throwing in a protein shake.
